Inform the responsible authorities in case of entry into waterways or drains.
6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Prevent further leakage or spillage.
Contain spillage, soak up with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth,
diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and transfer to a container for disposal according to local /
national regulations (see section 13).
Large spills should be collected mechanically (remove by pumping) for disposal.
Dilute with plenty of water.
Neutralise with the following product(s):
soda ash
Calcium hydroxide

transfer lines prior to breaking containment. Drain down and flush equipment where possible prior to
maintenance. Where there is potential for exposure: Ensure relevant staff are informed of the nature of
exposure and aware of basic actions to minimise exposures; ensure suitable personal protective
equipment is available; clear up spills and dispose of waste in accordance with regulatory requirements;
monitor effectiveness of control measures; consider the need for health surveillance; identify and
implement corrective actions. Automate activity where possible. Provide a good standard of controlled
ventilation (5 to 10 air changes per hour).
Organisational measures to prevent /limit releases, dispersion and exposure
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice., Ensure operatives are trained to
minimise exposures., Minimise number of staff exposed., Clean equipment and the work area every day.
Conditions and measures related to personal protection, hygiene and health evaluation
Wear protective gloves/ protective clothing/ eye protection/ face protection., For personal protection

Technical conditions and measures
Control any potential exposure using measures such as contained or enclosed systems, properly
designed and maintained facilities and a good standard of general ventilation. Drain down systems and
transfer lines prior to breaking containment. Drain down and flush equipment where possible prior to
maintenance. Where there is potential for exposure: Ensure relevant staff are informed of the nature of
exposure and aware of basic actions to minimise exposures; ensure suitable personal protective
equipment is available; clear up spills and dispose of waste in accordance with regulatory requirements;
monitor effectiveness of control measures; consider the need for health surveillance; identify and
implement corrective actions. Automate activity where possible. Provide a good standard of controlled
ventilation (5 to 10 air changes per hour).
Organisational measures to prevent /limit releases, dispersion and exposure
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice., Ensure operatives are trained to
minimise exposures., Minimise number of staff exposed., Clean equipment and the work area every day.
Conditions and measures related to personal protection, hygiene and health evaluation
Wear protective gloves/ protective clothing/ eye protection/ face protection., For personal protection
see section 8.
